Looking Forward to Everything

Choosing hope today doesn’t deplete what’s available to us tomorrow.

I’m not totally saying those two weeks of my high school AP stats class caused a nationwide erosion of trust in authority and science.

It’s time to pass this space on to the next generation.

Birds feel the pull of the compass, and they also cast their eyes upward for a map.

I thought I was somehow exempt—because I grew up in other countries or have Jewish blood or have a sister who looks different than me.

Slowly but surely, I keep going, shielding my eyes from the sun with my hand. There is simply no other choice.

Growing up isn’t being impervious to pain; it’s learning to live with it.

No one tells you that the challenge of finding friends and creating community extends beyond just high school, beyond just university.

Hello. You do not know me and I do not know you.
